Outside of the official Slackware site, a lot of new sites have been popping up recently that provide
information about Slackware. A good place to bring questions about Slackware is http://
linuxquestions.org (follow the links: Forums???Linux Distributions???Slackware). The Linux
Packages site (www.linuxpackages.net) offers some active Forums on different aspects of
Slackware.
Challenges of Using Slackware
There is no commercial organization behind Slackware and no official support, so, if something
goes wrong with your Slackware system, you are on your own to solve the problem. The Slackware
project, however, does maintain a list of third-party organizations that provide technical support at
www.slackware.com/support/.
Although functionally Slackware can be used in most any computing environment, in places where
you feel the need to have a company behind the computer systems you install (such as a large
enterprise), you would do better to look toward a Red Hat or SUSE system.
